This is the complete list of Basilicas in India . Basilica is a title given to some Catholic churches. By canon law no Catholic church can be honoured with the title of basilica unless by apostolic grant or from immemorial custom.[ 1] The title is bestowed upon large churches that are important as places of pilgrimage or for a specific devotion such as to a saint. Basilicas in this canonical sense are divided into major ("greater") and minor basilicas . Today only four, all in Rome, are classified as major basilicas: the major basilicas of St John Lateran , St Peter , St Paul outside the Walls , and St Mary Major . The other canonical basilicas, including all the basilicas in India are minor basilicas.
There are 34 basilicas in India, of which 28 are of the Latin Church , 5 are of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church and 1 is of the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church . The state of Kerala has 12 basilicas, including all 6 non-Latin Church basilicas, while Tamil Nadu has 9 basilicas, Karnataka has 4 and Pondicherry has 2. All the remaining basilicas are the only ones in their respective states or union territories . India is the country with the most basilicas in Asia .
